Comfort

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
2. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy. Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand using a wooden spoon. Drop cookie dough 1/4 cup at a time onto the prepared cookie sheets. Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.
4. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly toasted. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

So I find myself in need of comfort, outside is pouring with rain with loud crashes of thunder and bright lightning. My home tonight is dreery and depressing, everyone dragging there feet, even my daughter is restlessly sleeping.
So of course when I think of comfort I think of food, I love food and these cookies are the absolute perfect comfort food, they are the most delicious cookies I have ever made. Can't make any at the moment as I don't have all the ingredients but I so wish I could.
So, if you need some kinda of cmfort whip up a batch of these beautiful cookies and eat them still warm out of the oven and you will be floating on air. =)
